INGREDIENTS

You need:

25 - 30 ml espresso
approx. 100 ml cold milk or plant-based milk alternative (Barista Edition)
milk frother
A cappuccino cup or glass (at least 150 ml capacity)

How to prepare your perfect cappuccino:

Step 1: Preheat the cup

Fill a 150ml cappuccino cup or glass with hot water to preheat it. This will keep the espresso hot longer and retain its flavor. In a cold cup, the espresso can quickly taste bitter.

Step 2: Prepare espresso

Prepare a classic espresso, ideally your coffee blend consists of Arabica and Robusta beans for an authentic taste.

Step 3: Foam milk

Now froth the milk using a milk frother. If you have an espresso machine with a steam nozzle, you can also froth the milk with this. Place the steam nozzle just below the surface of the milk and froth it until it has reached a temperature of around 60-65 degrees.

Make sure that the milk foam is firm, creamy and dense, but not too hot.

Step 4: Pour the milk into the cappuccino cup

Now pour the frothed milk foam into the cappuccino cup over the prepared espresso. Pour the milk in slowly so that a rim of espresso is still visible at the end.

Step 5: The perfect end

The milk foam should be about 1 cm thick and have a creamy texture. Now your perfect cappuccino is ready to enjoy!

CONCLUSION

Making a perfect cappuccino at home is a rewarding experience that can be achieved with high-quality coffee beans and carefully frothed milk. With our step-by-step instructions and recommended coffees, you can easily enjoy your own creamy and aromatic cappuccino. Try it and let yourself be seduced by this classic drink!
